    whoops, i sit corrected.

    you're right. it was mr. townsend that had the pain-induced vocals
    during that particular song. now that i think back on it, sebastian
    bach wasn't so bad in the tribute album. however, he doesn't have =
    quite
    the style range that LaBrie would have in any given situation. it's
    amazing what opera training will do for someone's voice.

    of course there are probably people around who were die-hard fans at =
    the
    time of charlie's parting from the band. i wonder what they thought
    about the group finding a new vocalist at the time. *shrug*

    again i state that i can't see anyone trying to fill the shoes of the
    man, the mystery, the musical machine Kevin James LaBrie. it just =
    can't
    be done. at least, not properly. (:

    Hi
    Just a couple of things

    1. The support act for this show is Ruddess Morgenstein

    2. Has anybody recorded here before?-what is the security like and
    where is the best position!? I plan to take a recordable minidisc.

    3. Any jammers fancy a beer in the pub down the road before the gig?

    4. BTW there are still standing tickets available (as of last Friday
    at least)

    Cheers

    Simon

    ps anybody interested in a boot of the Paul Gilbert masterclass/King
    of Clubs tour thing that was in Guildford last Friday night? wanna trade?

    Subject: 45 minute playlist suggestion
    Message-ID: <199805261917.PAA31030@dewdrop2.mindspring.com>

    I think it would rock if DT let the fans chose the setlist for a few of
    their shows over the net. Other bands have done that and it hasn't hurt them
    to say the least :-)

    My 45-minute show would be:

    1) Just Let Me Breathe (5 1/2)
    2) Status Seeker (4 1/2)
    3) Under a Glass Moon (7)
    4) Ytse jam (6)
    5) Lifting Shadows off a Dream (6)
    6) Monument Part 1 (10)
    7) Lie (6)

    I rounded a bunch of songs up in time so there should be no problem if Lie
    goes to a bit over 6 minutes... and this covers every record they've ever done.

    I personally think JLMB appeals to Deep Purple fans. Songs like Status
    Seeker, Ytsejam and Lie will get the crowd jumping. UAGM and Monument
    provide the necessary prog content, and LSOAD will provide a nice break so
    the grandpas (you know they'll be there to see Deep Purple) don't have a
    heart attack.

    Flames and marriage proposals sent privately please.

    I must say, "kick ass." Kick ass. Question I want to know: how many members of
    the original Crimson Glory are in the band? No Midnight. They lost the drummer
    before Strange and Commercial. And looking at the writing credits, Drenning was
    responsible for that piece of shit. Is he still around?

    >IMO DT must promote the new album first and foremost while not overwhelming

    >as follows:

    I agree with not blowing the crowd away with balls 'n chunk. The problem is,
    does the band want to risk creating a false impression with the crowd? One
    possible scenario: They play a set that appeals to the less-rocking crowd. A
    good portion of those that were previously unfamiliar with OFB decides to go
    out and buy an album now. Then, they're going to feel cheated when it turns
    out that the band is a METAL band. Loss of a potential fan.

    Back a few years ago, I thought Echolyn was a horrible opening act for DT.
    Granted, I was in the minority in not liking them, but it didn't hurt the
    band's popularity much (at least not in the circles I travel in).
    Conversely, I loved the band Shadowplay, but other than a free demo tape I
    grabbed that night, I never heard from them again.

    They're not going to get anywhere by pretending to be something they're not
    live. Let's face it - if the promoters had wanted a Top-40 band opening up,
    they would have got one. They didn't. They wanted DT to open, so why not
    give it to them?

    Realistically, this isn't going to be a make-or-break tour for DT. It's a
    couple of dates playing in bigger venues to more fans with better-known
    bands. That's all. The potential is there for them to make new fans, but I
    think they should target the people who like DT music, rather than those
    that prefer DP/ELP. Granted, that's going to be a much smaller core at these
    shows, but I bet the success rate will be better.

    Katie isn't really anitsocial. She's actually very shy, and doesn't like
    loud noises, which explains why she was hiding under the bed while Carol
    was shouting "Let's Get Ready To Ruuummmmbbbbblllleeee!!!" She came out of
    the bedroom later that night, after cautiously checking to see if the house
    had been cleared.

    I want to take the time to thank everyone that showed up at our house
    before the DT show here in SF. Thanks to Lisa Marie, MattB, Carol, Pam,
    Ryan, Nicole, Neil, Paul, Sean, Chris, Chris and Stefan, and anyone else
    who I forgot to mention. We had a great time, and it was fun being able to
    have an intelligent conversation about music for a change (no one else we
    know has the same musical tastes as we do). We should get together more
    often. Jasper (one of the cats) had a great time, since he got plenty of
    attention. The party broke up just as our out of town guests arrived, so no
    one got a chance to frighten them. But that's OK, since we took them over
    to Berkeley the next day, and they got to see naked people wandering the
    streets. They were more amazed (and confounded) at the kid wearing a
    cardboard doghouse accompaning the naked people, than the naked people
    themselves.

    Kim and I might go to the OT show, depending on our work schedules. I'd
    love to see them, since I didn't go the last time they were around (back
    when we lived in LA).

    Message-ID: <19980526201028.8082.rocketmail@send1d.yahoomail.com>

    For a non-DT crowd setlist, I would relate this to my own experience
    trying to convert "normal" listeners to DT. Most of us on the jam are
    either musicians or hard-core music listeners. We're just not normal!

    My choices, not in any order (even though some are not possible, for
    obvious reasons):

    1. PMU - Can't go wrong. Many people can enjoy on the first listen
    (Personally, I'd rather not see it live anymore).

    2. Wait for Sleep - OK, it ain't gonna happen. But this has worked
    best for me when converting your average Joe.

    3. Space-Dye Vest - Same as above.

    4. Metropolis, Voices, LTL, UAGM, Lines in the Sand - Granted, these
    songs are hard for first time listeners to get into. But they will
    leave anyone impressed with the sheer musicianship.

    5. BMS, JLMB, YNM, Lie - Songs that may be easier for non-DT fans to
    get into. Plus these are the songs that the casual listener may have
    heard before (as w/PMU).

    All in all, the more complex the music, the harder it is to get
    someone to like it in one listen. John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin was
    once asked about the audience reaction the first time "Stairway to
    Heaven" was played (before the recording was released). He said they
    just sat, politely clapped and then started yelling for a "Whole Lotta
    Love". The fans were not impressed.

    On the other hand, Micheal Jackson fans liked "Bad" on the first
    listen. (Of course he repeats "Bad" about 750 times, so by the end of
    the song, you should have it memorized...)

    Message-ID: <01BD88B1.58F0B1C0@OC4.JanAlan.Com>

    I would never replace James. If he were to leave, being one of the
    saddest days in history, I think DT should become a 100% instrumental
    outfit. I just can not hear any other voice in his spot.

    On another note I would like to hear James and Tori Amos doing a duet
    together ( like Ozzy / Lita ). That would be very cool IMO.

    Tell me what you think? OR another person instead of Tori?

    Now for something totally different.
    <<<<<Dave Matthews Content>>>>>

    If anyone is even slightly inclined to see Dave Matthews Live, DO IT. He
    was here in Denver at Red Rocks ( Yep same place as his live CD is recorded
    at) for 2 nights (Sun and Mon). I saw him on Sunday night and despite 20
    min plus of rain downpour they totally amazing me with their playing. Most
    of the songs that they did ended in a minute or two of just jamming. Their
    studio efforts are great IMO, but seeing them live totally blows that
     away.
    Totally different from DT but definitely on my top 10 live shows list.

    Note: Take nothing I say seriously...

    Instead of offering one perfect setlist, I'm gonna offer up a bunch of
    (far from) perfect ones so that those in power can choose whichever one
    they think fits the day best.

    For the first one, it's obvious that James is leaving. Therefore we need
    an all instrumental show: Erotomania; Eve; Raise the Knife; Ytsejam;
    Hell's Kitchen. Playing around a bit and adding a few short teasers (ACoS
    I, IV & VI are allowed) should bring this up to the appropriate length.

    Next would be the Kevin Moore Memorial Set, opening with 6:00; Lie;
    Surrounded; Space-Dye Vest; Only a Matter of Time [ideally they would coax
    Chuck D out for this one]; Wait for Sleep (segue into teaser of LtL [but
    that's Myung] then close with Pull Me Under.

    Another set they'll never play could be: New Millenium; Scarred; Ytsejam;
    Trail of Tears; ACoS VI & VII

           A "Mad dog shaven head bottle boy Freak" aka John Haveman
           "You can't not be on a boat" - Guildenstern/Stoppard

    ps - well atleast I'm using a short sig....

    I'M NORMAL!!!!!!!!!

    <3. Space-Dye Vest - Same as above.

    that will never happen

    OK, I *swear* this is my last post of the day. Really. :) I forgot to
    post about this earlier, but Ken and I picked up 3 extra FII tourbooks
    in case any of you jammers weren't able to make the show on this leg of
    the tour. Tourbooks were $12 each, and I'll have to ask between $1.50
    and $3.00 for postage (I'll get an exact number later). If you're
    interested, send me a PRIVATE e-mail, and this is first come-first
    served. And NO, I'm NOT making any profit off this whatsoever -- I'm
    just doing it as a service. :)

    -Nicole/Kirby, your friendly neighborhood parakeet Ytsejammer! :)

    Sorry, I had to step into this one, as a few of you expected since I'm a huge Angra fan :-)

    First, if you think James is a great singer and Andre Matos isn't I think you have to admit that you are biased towards a specific type of singer. Technically Matos blows James away and that's a given, James is not technical by any means and he's not worried about singing in tune.

    Second, if you find one single note that Andre Matos sings out of tune on any of the Angra albums, I swear I'll dye my hair blond (wait, I just did that last week. nevermind). I'm serious though. Andre Matos studied to be a piano concertist and he has a degree in composition and arrangement. This guy does NOT sound out of tune and anybody that knows anything about pitch will agree with me.

    I think if you think Andre Matos sings out of tune it's your ears that need a tune up. You just have no idea what you're talking about.

    >Besides this his vocals are not >always tastefully arranged!

    That's your oppinion and your oppinion it is. I disagree with it.

    You should just say you don't like Andre Matos style and be done with it, that way you won't embarass yourself saying stuff that makes no sense at all.

    George,

    Sebastian sung Jacob's Ladder. Devin Townsend sung Natural Science which is my favorite track in the CD alongside with Fates Warning's Closer to The Heart (if you still think Ray Alder can't sing, just go and see him sing the best version of that song I've ever heard - sorry Geddy). As for Sebastian's track, I agree with what already was posted here on the jam a year ago... he breathes waaay too loud, is that supposed to give me a hardon or what? :-) But he did a great job, I gotta give him that. I always thought Sebastian Bach was an OK singer, until I heard Subhuman Race, that CD proves that he is beyond just good, he's awesome and can pull off any style from pop ballads to growling that comes close to Pantera. Now as for his personality that's a completely different story. Hey, didn't he and Labrie use to hang out?
